Low system rating

Upgrade the Ram up to 8GB and get WEI as 5.9 ....:)

I'm pretty sure the highest rating you can get is a 7.9 if you can get it to 5.9+ you have a higher end computer

I don't know if this will work...but is it possible to disable the On Board graphics chip in device manager, and enable the nVidia card?

In both AMD and NV cases, the switchable capability of the graphics is performed via a pass-through from the Intel graphics chip. Said another way: the Intel graphics processor is always running, but when Optimus kicks in, the Intel chip simply provides the TDMS portion of the signal and the rest is 'passed through' from your NV 525m chip.

Thus, disabling the Intel GPU will disable all video output, even when your NV chip is running.

If you want your WEI to be higher without much effort, directly edit the XML file that is generated by WinSat and make whatever score you want. WEI has no other bearing on reality, to be honest.

My laptop uses Nvidia Optimus. It just had a GPU driver update. The update allowed me to choose the 'primary graphics device'. I changed it to the discrete card and ran WEI again. My WEI went up to the same score for desktop graphics as gaming graphics was.

Hey Are u using nvidia 525m ?
Please let me know the detailed settings you did?
(my current version 3.5.756.0)

A brief Specs of the laptop is at the bottom of my system specs. But, I have the GT540M using driver 8.17.12.6672. Dated 1/17/2012

How did you set nvidia as "primary graphics device" ?

where is the setting option located ??

thanks in advanced ...

You can go through the BIOs and set it as your primary device. Just restart your computer and usually before the loading screen you will see a prompt for the option to go to bios. I think it's F4 or F8. When in BIOs it should be under the VGA option

Thank you for your time...

But, I'm using Dell Inspiron N5110. Dell have removed many settings in the latest BIOS.
